Linus Torvalds experiments with vibe coding on hobby project, but Linux remains untouched

Linux and Git creator Linus Torvalds revealed he used AI-powered vibe coding to build part of his personal AudioNoise project. Using Google Antigravity, he generated a Python visualizer tool instead of manually coding it. The admission has sparked fresh debate in the developer community about AI-assisted code generation, though Torvalds made clear this approach was only for a trivial hobby project, not critical infrastructure.
